A message to SteelSeries: Sonar is devaluing your premium headsets by making ChatMix software-based.
I agree. When I switched from the Arctis Pro Wireless to the Arctis Nova Pro Wireless, I was blindsided by having to use Sonar to use ChatMix. It made me instantly regret my purchase, because I thought it would be hardware-based like the 2 previous SteelSeries headsets I've owned. Also, the SteelSer

I can't change my ChatMix at all with the dial, I click the dial and nothing happens. I reset the damn thing a couple times now and nothing is helping. After each reset it works, but then when I turn the pc off and use it the next day, same issue comes back.
I had the Arctis Pro Wireless headset and it was amazing, never once had any issues messing with the chat mix and was able to switch between volume and chatmix mode seamlessly. Then I got a Arctis Nova Pro Wireless, some 2 years ago, and its been an absolute nightmare to get the chat mix dial to wor

Arctis pro wireless left side no sound
I just checked, and there is no hard reset hole in the SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless, which sucks. However, I would try taking the battery out of the headset, and leave it out over night.Couldn't hurt.

Arctis Nova Pro Wireless feels like 4 steps backwards compared to Arctis Pro Wireless
I use the nova pro wireless with my Xbox and the OLED turns off when I turn my Xbox off. There's a setting in the base station to make it do that It doesn't turn off the OLED when the PC is on. Mine keeps on, there's no firmware update. You don't need a 3.5mm out just have the other person connect t
